<p>Hi, im currently a freshman at stanford and am trying to decide whether I should declare my major in engineering physics or EE. I have little preference over the two right now. Engineering physics I think would give me more options for grad school but EE would probably give me more opportunities on the job market is the impression I am getting. Anyone have an opinion on this?</p>
<p>Do you want to go into industry or grad school after college?</p>
<p>I don't think an EE degree from Stanford would be a major hindrance versus a physics engineering degree if you wanted to go to grad school, but it might be harder to find jobs with the physics engineering degree. </p>
<p>For now, though, just pick whichever you find more interesting.</p>
<p>With the Engineering Physics degree, you'll have the mental skills to do a graduate degree in any technical discipline, BUT not the prerequisites. EE programs want BSEE degrees. To some extent, you'll box yourself into either EE or Physics with your undergrad choice.</p>
<p>If you're smart about choosing electives, you can certainly get a job w/an Engineering Physics degree. Choose EE electives and market yourself as a more theoretical EE.</p>
